Carbon-loaded Microwave Absorbers The ECCOSORB® AN HR series carbon-loaded foam microwave absorber materials are lightweight, offer good broadband absorption and are cut easily to specific shapes. The products can be supplied in preconfigured shapes to meet customer specifications. The units are available with peel-and-stick adhesives with a coating (to reduce dusting), a metal back and a dielectric film layer. For outdoor use the weatherproofed AN-W series is also available. Applications for the specular absorbers include lining high performance shrouded antennas to reduce back radiation, lining antenna caps for testing aircraft surface-mounted antennas, lining antenna housings to improve antenna performance, lining shielded antenna test boxes, reducing RF interference around antenna feeds and improving the performance of antennas mounted on ground planes.
